## Abstract Surface antigen negative hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection was evaluated in Venezuela, by molecular characterization of blood samples positive for antibodies to core antigen (antiโHBc) and negative for surface antigen (HBsAg) in blood donors (residual infections). HBV DNA was found in 1

## Abstract The subtype distribution of 142 genotype 2 and 97 genotype 4 hepatitis C virus (HCV) isolates from the sera of 1,319 volunteer blood donors in France was determined by gene sequencing and by phylogenetic analysis of the NS5B region and E1 envelope. Findings underlined a wide range of su
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a frequent cause of acute and chronic hepatitis and a leading cause for cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. HCV is classified in six major genotypes and more than 70 subtypes. In Colombian blood banks, serum samples were tested for antiโHCV an
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic in Africa, being hyperendemic in subโSaharan Africa. Genotypes A, D, and E circulate in Africa, showing a distinct geographical distribution. The aim of the present study was to determine the HBV genotype distribution in blood donors from different geo
## Abstract Risk factors for acquiring hepatitis E among individuals in industrialized countries including Japan are not fully understood. We investigated whether Japanese blood donors with or without an elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level are likely to have hepatitis E virus (HEV) infect
